Migration

[t3kg33k]

So, I've installed Jellyfin on my RHEL 8 server but I am finding that a lot of requirements needed for hardware transcoding (e.g. jellyfin-ffmpeg) is not in RHEL at this time. I'm planning on buying a new machine (Beelink S12 Pro) to install Ubuntu Server for my Jellyfin purposes. Since I already have some configurations in my current RHEL install (media matches, Collections created, movies/tv shows in progress, plugins, etc.) is there a way to migrate from RHEL to Ubuntu seamlessly?
I found scripts for Windows to Linux, Linux to Docker, etc. but not from one Linux distro to another.

If your data and configs are in /var/lib/jellyfin and /etc/jellyfin, respectively, all you need to do is copy those two directories to the new server after you've installed Jellyfin. Then chown them.

sudo chown -R jellyfin: /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin

Is there no database backend also to move?


EDIT: Never mind. I see database files in the data directory.


Thanks!
